Alvarez, Chandler Hit Marks for Bellator 58 Lightweight Title Tilt

Eddie
Alvarez's second title defense is now official, as the reigning
Bellator Fighting Championships 155-pound kingpin and challenger
Michael
Chandler both hit their contracted weights at Friday's
Bellator 58 weigh-ins.

Alvarez tipped the scales at 154.75 pounds, while Chandler came in
at 154.5 ahead of their headlining showdown at the Seminole Hard
Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Fla. Also featuring a non-title
catch-weight affair between
Bellator 185-pound pacesetter Hector
Lombard (193) and
UFC veteran Trevor
Prangley (194.75), the evening's main draw airs on MTV2 and
Epix.

Former Sengoku
featherweight champion Marlon
Sandro (145.5) will also see action, as the
Nova Uniao product takes on countryman Rafael Dias
(145.75). Additionally, Jessica
Aguilar will lock horns with Lisa
Ellis-Ward (114) on the main card, as voted by the fans.
Weighing in at 117.5 pounds on her initial attempt, Aguilar will
have two hours to cut the excess weight and make 116.

A winner in 12 of his last 13 fights, Alvarez has not lost since
submitting to a Shinya Aoki
heel hook in 2008. The
Philadelphia Fight Factory representative has been perfect
through his six-fight Bellator career, winning the promotion's
inaugural 155-pound tournament and successfully defending his belt
against Pat Curran in
his most recent outing on April 2.
